Overview
A modulating/condensing fuel-fired water heater or hydronic boiler can avoid losses associated, in conventional units, with cycling at less than full load and with unrecovered latent heat of water produced in the combustion process. A system which incorporates features that minimize cycling by modulating fuel and air flow to the combustor and that recover additional heat from condensing moisture in the flue gas stream can achieve reductions in fuel consumption, operating costs, and emissions.
In this course the student will learn about the benefits of using modulating condensing boilers and water heaters along with the installation and maintenance considerations. In addition, the student will learn about certifications, emissions, life-cycle costs and case studies using this technology.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in Modulating/Condensing Fuel-Fired Water Heater and Hydronic Boiler, DOE/EE-0171.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
